Help Me, Lord

Help Me, Lord As I awake help me dear Lord I pray, It’s time to battle another day. The pain is already rushing in, I don’t know where I should begin. Sometimes it gets hard to keep doing what’s right, People are filled with malice and strife. Time grows short and the path gets longer, Lord only you can make me stronger. My desire is to be in the center of your will. All your desires help me fulfill. Lord sweep my heart clean and purify, Help me live a Christ filled life. I want to be more open to...

It’s March again as I survey Scenes around the old home place It’s been vacant now for several years Sands of time, have changed it’s face How sad to see how fleeting years Cause structures to deteriorate Memory impels me face the fact Likewise our bodies do relate Beside the house, still standing there Something special caught my eye A yellow daffodil sprang forth Bathed by sunlight from the sky Mom planted it some years ago By God’s care, it was not bound To relinquish life to winters scorn A touch of spring, made it rebound If I could be...

In This Moment

It was a cold, cloudy and rainy morning outside my kitchen window today.

I looked down and saw my little beagle, Snoopy’s warm brown eyes looking up at me. I petted her head and smiled down...

In His Garden

They come in lovely colors, from bright to palest hue and the sweetest time to smell them is when they’re damp with dew. Yes, everyone loves flowers, but I think that you should know there are other things of beauty that in His garden grow. There are stalks of hardy grasses and frilly fronds of fern, prickly growth...

The Blind Man’s Sign

One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a sign by his feet, that read: “I am blind, please help.” A creative publicist was walking by the blind man and stopped to observe that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his own coins in the hat, and without stopping to ask for permission, took the sign, turned it around, and wrote a new message. He then placed the sign by the feet of the blind man, and left. Later that afternoon the creative publicist...
